Serpens is a particularly annoying constellation for people like me
who try to catagorize them. Although it is officially one
constellation, it is actually split into two distinct, disjoint areas
of the sky which are divided by the constellation Ophiuchus. They are
named Serpens Caput and Serpens Cauda, or, in jargon terms, Ser1 and
Ser2.
